Chapter 143: Battle of the Four Directions
Standing on top of a tall pillar, Laru stood on tiptoe and looked out at the two camps outside the town that had been slaughtered. Here three completely different battle flags are waving in the wind, and the three teams under the guidance of the battle flags are now intertwined - the exchange of spells that you come and go, the melody of the war song one after another. In addition, there must be the splatters of blood and mutilated corpses.
The catboy who completed the observation mission made a small jump, and then the group rolled over for two and a half weeks and landed successfully: "It's a mess outside now." However, the two teams fighting against the mammoths don't seem to have much advantage at the moment. ”
"There are two teams fighting the mammoths?" Barrett raised his eyebrows.
Lalu immediately nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be two teams." One of the teams had a winged lion with a red border on a gold background, while the other team had a pair of metal fists crossed together. ”
"A winged man-headed lion with a red border on a gold background? Isn't that a 'Bounty Warband'? Did they come all the way from Repulse City to the Northlands? "Klaimatis obviously found something incredible.
Repulse City is the most important stronghold of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church in the western part of the continent. The local 'Bounty Warband' is a religious force under the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. But in fact, it has long since become a semi-official cavalry warband. In addition to being directly involved in the defense of the city, it is also a frequent winner of team competitions in the local arena.
An armed force like this can be said to be an important pawn of the local Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that it is too far from Repulse City. Because in Repulse City, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce itself faces challenges from all sides.
As one of the best independent cities. The wealth and population of Repulse City have always been coveted by many powers. Of course, they will not be stupid enough to forcibly conquer this pearl on the west coast of the continent by force. Instead, they often use infiltration to increase their influence in the city.
But even if it is a more peaceful way of competing. But the deterrent power of a strong armed force is also indispensable. In the face of all kinds of threats, both overt and covert, it was not easy for them to transfer the important guarantee of the 'Bounty Warband' to the north. At least judging from Klaimatis's understanding, it is impossible for the Seven Cities Alliance Diocese alone to have such a face.
At this moment, a smile appeared on Mr. Yodel's face: "The rest of the team should be our church arm. ”
One of the unique professions of the 'God of Tyranny' is the '**** Black Hand', so it is not surprising that its ecclesiastical armament will be under the banner of 'a pair of metal fists crossed together'.
"Looks like it's really reinforcements this time! But Lulu, you said that in the battle between them, you can't see which side has the advantage for the time being, right? Rielly reached out and touched Lalu's head, asking softly.
The cat boy nodded under Rielly's palm: "That's right! When I was just observing it above. The three are fighting together. And the mammoth side is one against two, and it doesn't look like it's falling behind for the time being. ”
"This is the best of the best! No wonder we drove away the mammoth soldiers outside the temple gate so easily. Claudia, who said this, really realized that the queen mother knew it.
Barrett, who was touching his chin, half-squinted: "It seems that in the eyes of those mammoths, as long as the reinforcements outside are leveled." Cowards like us huddled in the temple don't seem to be a cause for concern. So are we going to give them a hard blow from behind, so that they will regret that they underestimated us before? ”
"No matter how much those mammoths draw their elites, judging by their previous performances, I don't think they have won the 'Bounty Warband'." The meaning of Clematis's words seems to be that he does not believe Laru's judgment. Of course, she didn't think Lalo was lying. It's just a concern about the catboy's battlefield judgment ability.
Because of the strength of the 'Bounty Warband', Klamatis, who was born in Repulse City, knew better than everyone else present. So from the beginning, I didn't believe that it was this team. It became now that I don't believe Laru's judgment.
Faced with such doubts, Lalu did not have time to shake her fist at Klaimatis in protest. Barrett on the side grinned first: "Klimatis, you don't think that this time Repulse City will send the entire 'Bounty Clan' to the Northlands!" I think it's just a partial division here, and it's normal for them to be unable to control the situation for a while when they are at a disadvantage. ”
"Wait! If our 'Atakosi Warband' also went to war. That means that the number of people in each team may be less than half of that of the mammoths. Mr. Yodel's face began to look a little difficult at this time, "In this case, how much impact can we have if we join the fray?" ”
Hearing this, Barrett nodded secretly in his heart: "It seems that Mr. Yoddle does have some knowledge of small-scale battles. However, there is still a not too short distance from the real professionals......
If he were a qualified commander, Mr. Joodle would not have been left idle by the Church of the God of Tyranny in a remote place like Wintersprings. They serve tyrants and powers, and they are not too many of them at any time.
"Look at the moment and give the mammoth bastards a hard slap from behind. Combined with the situation they are facing now, it can actually cause good results. "At this time, Barrett doesn't have to worry about other people's faces! But then he added, "Of course, the risk of such an action is not comparable to the surprise we just came out of the temple. When the time comes, not only the mammoths, but even the reinforcements may be injured by mistake because they don't know us. ”
"It's time like this, Barrett, don't test our resolve again. If we miss this battle, we will definitely regret it. Klaimatis walked up to him and patted Barrett's arm. The latter then turned his gaze to the aborigines.
Except for the three members of the 'Wild Stone Mercenary Group' who were a little hesitant. The other two nodded solemnly. Because their parishioners are now fighting their enemies not far away. If they retreat now, then I am afraid they will not have to mingle in the church in the future.
"Lalu, do you remember the situation on the battlefield just now! Lead the way, and we're going to go to the butt of those mammoth barbarians. Kick it hard. "Immediately after that, Barrett didn't forget to tell the likes of Rieli and Claymatis." Ready to re-state us. A few of the previous additions have expired. By the way, put protective arrows on everyone. At that time, everyone will probably have to face the test of the stray arrows on their own. ”
"Remember to reimburse!" Rielly, who had taken out the scroll, deliberately rolled the sheepskin and shook it in front of the captain of the Aragonese guard. It seemed to remind him to keep a record of the scrolls he used. The latter smiled a little awkwardly, but just kept silent.
Activate the scroll casting method as you hurry. When the assault team came to the entrance of the passage that had been forcibly opened, the two mammoth soldiers who had stayed here to monitor the back road immediately spotted the comer. Barrett, who was quick-eyed, immediately picked up the counterweight axe and threw it violently. The blood gushing out of the lungs blocked the target's trachea in an instant. Let one of them roll over and fall to the ground holding his chest before he could make a sound.
Another watchdog was about to speak. But then he found that no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't shout a word. Claudia silenced the guard who wanted to tell the news with the words of the 'Silent Mage'. The nimble Lalu rushed forward and knocked him to the ground as he tried to flee to the main army. Immediately after that, the 'scorpion sickle' in his hand slashed across the opponent's neck. The mammoth soldier, who could have fought Lalu head-on, easily lost his life because of his panic and timidity.
The raiders, who had done all this, came to the exit, carefully obscuring themselves with the wreckage of nearby buildings. For fear of being discovered by the mammoth soldiers before launching the attack. Looking at the childish banner of the primitive man riding the mammoth, Barrett had already determined the situation of the other side - far from the point of exhaustion on the frontal battlefield.
Rielly looked at the battle situation in front of her and came up with this assessment: "It seems that if we don't work harder, this battle will really be fought." ”
"Nope! Even the Mammoths pushed back two church reinforcements this time. But as long as they don't have follow-up reinforcements, they will definitely choose to retreat within a few days. Thus ending the campaign in a relatively decent way. Judging from the current situation, a ceasefire negotiation after the draw is the most likely. And Barrett clearly has his own opinions, too. Of course, if we don't join! ”
"That's right! In the style of the 'Bounty Warband', they are absolutely unwilling to suffer too much loss. At this time, Clematis also expressed his opinion.
Barrett then began his final pre-war mobilization: "Now that we have come to this point, there is no reason for us to retreat. Mage Acceleration Preparation, let's use the flesh and bones of the enemy to pave our own ladder of victory. ”
As these words ended, Rielly's acceleration enveloped several melee pros except Barrett. And Barrett himself activated the acceleration effect on the shoe. Immediately after that, this small team of only about 10 people immediately poured out of this passage. Then he plunged headlong into the feast of blood and fire.
Barrett, who was in the lead, did not pay attention to his feet this time because of the previous encounter. How could a temporary battlefield like this be set up in advance. Of course, if there was one, Barrett would admit it. Immediately after him, Mr. Yodel and Mr. Aragon both distanced themselves slightly from Barrett. This is mainly due to the fear that the mammoth caster will wash the floor with an area spell, which is not as resistant to spells as Barrett.
With the heavy assault here, the mammoth side immediately spotted the attacker who stabbed himself in the back. Seeing all this, Mage Shoshone knew that his worst fears had arisen, but fortunately, he had already suppressed the casters of the 'Bounty Warband' and the 'Atakosi Warband', and took the time to chant a spell in the direction of the commando charge. Immediately after that, the road ahead of Barrett suddenly became muddy.
Hanging in the middle of the line, Claudia immediately began to chant the words of 'inertial conflict' after noticing the change in front of her. Barrett, who was the first to be affected, immediately ignored the quagmire created by the spell. Every time he took a step forward, the quagmire would automatically give him plenty of room to maneuver, just as Moses divided the sea. It's a pity that after he leaves, the quagmire will be back together. Otherwise, Barrett could have made his own way out of the way.
As Barrett quickly crossed the obstacles constructed by Master Shoshone, the distance between him and the mammoth army was already within easy reach. Behind him, Monsieur Aragorn, with a badge on his chest turned from yellow to blue. Then his feet moved a little away from the ground. Although it looks like it is soaring into the air, the way it moves close to the ground is obviously just floating. But even so, the ability was enough for him to get through the quagmire in front of him.
By the time Mr. Yodl stepped into it, Claudia's second spirit had finished chanting. Immediately afterwards, this '**** black hand', like Barrett, regarded the spell quagmire in front of him as nothing. It's a pity that after these three leaders have successfully survived, the remaining few will only rely on Claudia's words, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
Fortunately, at this time, with a burst of blue-purple light set off by Rielly, the quagmire blocking the path of the commando team disappeared out of thin air. Rielly, who has advanced to the 'Master of the School', has proved that her ability to protect the School has not been pulled down with the 'Disarming Magic'. It's just that the subsequent sky-high flame still makes people feel that she is more like those violent maniacs in the plastic energy department.
And in this one, Barrett has already made a close encounter with the mammoth's soldiers. In fact, for this group of people killed from behind, although the middle and high-level mammoths had some guesses, in order not to shake the morale of the army, they did not directly tell these big-headed soldiers. Moreover, they thought that the men left at the gate of the temple would be able to delay the movement of the temple for a moment, and give them a tip-off.
But it is clear that the mammoths were miscalculated. The old, weak, sick and disabled people they left behind did not have the desired effect. So without warning, there was a direct collision with the elites guarding the temple of Winter Spring Town. (To be continued.) )
PS: The modification is complete. Thanks to the "Super Nerd II", "Watch Time Flies" and "BRON" three great commuter passes. At the same time, I would like to thank the three great rewards of "Transcendent Panda", "Yue Ren Yutian" and "Altar Fat Biao".
